# Five of the Best Gold Stocks to Buy for the Second Half of 2025

> Gold prices have surged due to inflation, geopolitical tensions, and strong central bank purchases, particularly from China, India, and Turkey. Trident Resources Corp. has signed an option agreement for a property adjacent to its high-grade gold assets, enhancing its exploration potential. Newmont Corporation reported strong Q2 2025 results with record free cash flow and a new share repurchase program. Barrick Mining's partnership in Tanzania continues to redefine mining's role in national development, focusing on shared value and long-term investment.

Over the last year, gold prices soared on inflationary concerns, geopolitical uncertainties, and strong central bank buying. In fact, **China, India, and Turkey have been aggressively buying gold in response to an “increasingly politicized dollar,” as noted by Investing.com.** China, for example, is still aggressively buying physical gold as it’s done for the last three years. In June, China’s central bank bought another 70,000 troy ounces of gold in June, bringing its total reserves to 73.9 million ounces.

All of which has been fueling substantial upside in gold stocks, such as **Trident Resources Corp.** (TSXV: ROCK) (OTCQB: TRDTF), **Newmont Corporation** (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT)**, Barrick Mining** (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), **Royal Gold** (NASDAQ: RGLD), and **Kinross Gold** (NYSE: KGC) (TSX: K).

In addition, according to Investing.com, “Gold’s rally to $4,000 is a question of ‘when,’ not ‘if,’ according to Yardeni Research, as mounting central bank demand and eroding confidence in the U.S. dollar drive the metal’s ascent. Unlike past gold surges tied to inflationary spirals, the current bull run is rooted in geopolitics and reserve diversification.”

**Look at** **Trident Resources Corp. (TSXV: ROCK) (OTCQB: TRDTF), For Example**

**Trident Resources Corp.** just announced that it has signed an option agreement with an individual land owner pursuant to which the Company has optioned a property that borders one of Trident’s core high-grade gold assets. The Company can earn a 100% interest in the Project which is made up of 6,902 hectares of claims with prospective gold exploration potential directly adjacent to Trident’s Greywacke Gold Project in the La Ronge Gold Belt.

**Acquisition Highlights:**

\- Highly prospective land package adjacent to Trident to the North-East and South-West of one of our core gold projects;

\- Multiple high-priority targets on the newly acquired property that are on trend with Trident’s deposits;

\- Attractive acquisition price comprised of cash and shares of Trident with exploration expenditures; and

\- Required exploration expenditures can be covered with a strong treasury - Trident has over CAD $11M million in working capital and is fully funded for its upcoming summer drill program at the flagship Contact Lake Gold Project

**Historical Hailstone Property Highlights:**

\- Anomalous areas are associated with known gold occurrences, with grab samples assaying up to 15.9 g/t gold (“Au”) (Bornite Zone target) as reported previously by Pelangio (see press release October 7th, 2019); and

\- The 2021 drill program was focused on the Asbell Bay target area. These holes targeted known gold occurrences such as the Bornite Zone which returned surface grabs up to 15.9 g/t Au and 2.68% Cu as well as several coincident geophysical and gold till anomalies along the 1.8 km long Asbell Bay trend as reported previously by Pelangio (see press release May 7th, 2021).

Jonathan Wiesblatt, Trident’s CEO, commented: *"We are delighted to work towards consolidating a key asset in this prolific mining district at a very attractive price for our shareholders. This acquisition will add prospective ground with an extensive exploration database providing an opportunity for Trident to make new discoveries and delineate new resources at the Project.”*

*“To execute on this, Trident is well-funded with over $11M in its treasury now consisting of cash and cash-equivalent assets. Over the next few months, the Company will focus on its exploration work which includes drilling at Contact Lake to confirm the high-grade potential resources left behind by the former owner and testing the extension of the trend both along strike and at depth.”*

**Other related developments from around the markets include:**

**Newmont** announced second quarter 2025 results, an additional $3.0 billion share repurchase program and declared a dividend of $0.25 per share. "Newmont delivered a strong second quarter, producing approximately 1.5 million attributable gold ounces and generating an all time record quarterly free cash flow of $1.7 billion, underscoring the strength of our world-class portfolio and the disciplined execution of the commitments we shared at the beginning of the year," said Tom Palmer, Newmont's Chief Executive Officer. "We remain firmly on track to achieve our 2025 guidance as we continue to strengthen our safety culture, stabilize our operations and deliver long term value to shareholders."

Five years after its formation, the Twiga partnership between Barrick Mining Corporation and the government of Tanzania continues to redefine the role of mining in national development, delivering shared value, operational excellence and long-term investment in the country’s future. “When we established Twiga, it was about more than just resolving legacy issues. It was about building a new future by unlocking Tanzania’s gold endowment in a way that fairly shares the benefits and builds lasting value for all stakeholders. Five years on, we’ve not only re-established Barrick as the sector’s leading economic contributor but have also earned national recognition across a range of areas from safety and local content to education and infrastructure,” Barrick president and chief executive Mark Bristow said.

**Royal Gold** announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, RGLD Gold AG, sold approximately 40,600 gold equivalent ounces (GEOs)1 comprised of approximately 32,200 ounces of gold, 578,700 ounces of silver and 1,100 tonnes of copper related to its streaming agreements during the three-month period ended June 30, 2025. RGLD Gold AG had approximately 12,700 ounces of gold and 341,000 ounces of silver in inventory at June 30, 2025. RGLD Gold AG’s average realized gold, silver and copper prices for the second quarter were $3,248 per ounce, $32.91 per ounce and $9,210 per tonne ($4.18 per pound), respectively. Cost of sales was approximately $596 per GEO for the second quarter. Cost of sales is specific to the Company’s streaming agreements and is the result of RGLD Gold AG’s purchase of gold, silver or copper for cash payments at a set contractual price, or a percentage of the prevailing market price of gold, silver or copper when purchased. Kinross Gold announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. "We had an excellent start to the year built on our continued strong operational performance and disciplined cost management, and are well positioned to meet our annual guidance. The Company delivered a 67% increase in margins to $1,814 per ounce sold compared with Q1 2024, significantly outpacing the 38% increase in the gold price over the same period. As a result, we generated over $370 million of free cash flow, more than double over Q1 2024. Our culture of technical excellence and financial discipline, complemented by our consistent operating performance, continues to drive strong margins and cash flow, all of which underpin our capital allocation strategy. In addition to our dividend, we’ve reactivated our share buyback program and, given the current gold environment as well as the strength of our operations, we are aiming to repurchase a minimum of $500 million of shares in 2025. I am pleased to report that we have repurchased approximately $60 million of shares to date in Q2.”
